NVIDIA Quadro K1200 Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA Quadro K1200

Released in 2015, the Quadro K1200 is a GPU from NVIDIA. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is a bad card for gaming with a score of 436 points.

The Quadro K1200 has 4 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 78 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 128 bits. If you plan on gaming at higher resolutions with higher quality textures, more memory is important. Without enough memory, performance will be degraded.

In terms of clock speed, the Quadro K1200 GPU core runs at a frequency of 1058 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1124 MHz. The clock runs at a speed called the clock speed. It dictates the number of updates per second that the GPU can process. Overclocking a chip, which means increasing the clock speed will improve the performance. However, thermals and power efficiency may be diminished.

As for rendering API support, the Quadro K1200 supports up to DirectX 12.0. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.5 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.

Power and thermals for the NVIDIA Quadro K1200 are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 45 watts. This measures the amount of heat the GPU produces when running at 100%. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
